Forsyth County residents will have a chance this week to
voice concerns over a development at the
corner of Peachtree Parkway (Hwy. 141) and Brookwood Road.

On Monday at 6 p.m. at Sharon Forks Library, a public
participation meeting will be held to discuss an application to rezone 76 acres
from commercial business district, CBD, to master planned district, MPD for a
development including 29 residential lots, 129 attached residential units, 250
apartments and commercial space being
developed by Fuqua Acquisitions II, LLC.

“This is the scheduled public participation that is required
when a development is filed,” said
District 2 Commissioner Dennis Brown. “It invites the citizens out as a chance
to get a briefing from the developer about details of this. It’s going to be a
master planned district, MPD.”

Brown said the meeting would both let residents give
thoughts on the project and for the developer to get feedback to make decisions
about possible changes.

Development of the land has been a longtime issue for nearby
residents

“There have been several versions of the come before the
commission, none of which have been met with much favor by the residents,”
Brown said.

Brown said too many residential units and not enough
commercial draws were disliked by residents previously.
